Presents a series of urgently needed reforms of both labour and anti-trust laws to improve outcomes for American workers. These include higher wages, safer workplaces, increased ability to report labour violations, greater mobility, more opportunities for workers to build power, and overall better labour protections.

Exploring a new agenda to improve outcomes for American workers Inequality and the Labor Market will interest anyone who cares about building a progressive economic agenda or who has a marked interest in labor policy. It also will appeal to anyone hoping to influence or anticipate the much-needed progressive agenda for the United States. The book's unusual scope provides prescriptions that, as Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz notes in the introduction, map a path for rebalancing power, not just in our economy but in our democracy.
